Wintergatan Marble Machine (and other projects)

Marble Machine
I have decided that I want to build a machine in MuX that can play the full song of "Wintergatan - Marble Machine". And I want to share my progress - and maybe get some helpfull tips along the way ^^

You can download the midi-file from my Google Drive folder and open it with an online sequencer to see all the notes.

So far I've only made the vibraphones and the first 6 bars out of 128...
But I'll get there eventually, hopefully :P

Upcomming tasks:
- Find a faster way to to record notes (pressing buttons > connecting strings)
- Make drums and bass in a creative way.

Question:
- How to find the perfect values of frequency, amplitude, halftime and phase for the synthesizor parts (see cello.mux or synth.mux)
- Do you have any other suggestions for my level?

Latest build (04.04.2018)
vibra0.4.mux

Hey Zymf!

Awsome scenes! thanks for sharing! I really like the pinball game, very creative!

It's also very cool that you're using the dispatch to sequence the sound. You are literally "hard-wiring" the melody. Neat.

Love the Wintergatan-inspired scene. I tried to add a crank with a tempo control similar to the machine in the video. (you now have to "wind it up")

To answer your questions about making more realistic type sounds, I would suggest adding some resonance. If you add another oscillator an octave above the other one, it will make the sound a little more realistic.

Example:

This is an extremely interesting topic, and I think it would be cool to make a tutorial or some examples that demonstrate how to mimic real-life sounds in MuX.

Hope this helps, and have a great weekend!

Thanks! - I'll check them out, once I get the chance :D

It's rather fun to solve problems like this in MuX, when you have time to play around with different solutions.

You too!

Update: Added shooting range game + Relocated download-files to Google Drive

Thanks, Zymf! We'd like to put your build in the MuXer hall! You cool with that? Send a sign :)

[Zymf]

Sure! :D

Hi Zymf, we're super happy to have had the opportunity of placing 'zymf_vibra' and 'zymf_shooting' in the MuXer hall. Bless you! MuXers, check out Zymf's awesome scenes!
